This month, our character focus is Creativity. The operational definition of creativity is “approaching a need, a task, or an idea from a new perspective.”

God is the first and greatest Creator. He created the entire universe from nothing! Since you are made in God’s image, He has given you creative capabilities. How can you cultivate thinking innovatively?

Perspective is a point of view or way of looking at an object, an idea, or a situation. Each person has a unique way of viewing circumstances. When you focus only on your own perspective, your understanding will be limited.

Understanding and inspiration often come as you ask God or others for ideas, consider times you did this before, and search for wisdom. Creativity does not always mean having a new idea, but it may mean applying what you already know in a different way. As you develop and incorporate creativity in your life, you can refine ideas, meet needs, and accomplish tasks for the glory of our Creator God!
